Federal Court Recognises Native Title Blog :
"I NOW recognise that traditional ownership. In doing so, I bind all people for all time."
With these words Justice John Dowsett today vindicated a 20-year native title struggle on the part of our region's indigenous people.
Members of the Byellee, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng and Taribelang Bunda people had been granted official recognition of their connection with and ownership of more than 420,000ha of land and water across the Gladstone, Bundaberg and North Burnett regions.
